Not really, no, we'll sort you out with taxi numbers and that, it'll be fine. Just come back to ours after the wedding and we'll take it from there. Absolutely no problem at all.

can anyone tell me who "sarah bash" was? it's definitely a glasgow/west of scotland thing, i think, that people called sarah a generation or two ago were nicknamed "sarah bash" but i can't find the origin of it.

Did someone upset Luca on the YT comments?
― Alba, Friday, 26 June 2009 11:54 (fifteen years ago) link
I didn't quite understand the blonde girl's place in the whole thing. Did Luca just spy on her over the road? Or were they friends from the start?
― Alba, Friday, 26 June 2009 11:55 (fifteen years ago) link
Actually, there were two blonde girls, weren't there? Anyway, the one who lived opposite.
― Alba, Friday, 26 June 2009 11:56 (fifteen years ago) link
OK, I didn't watch this. I had a very, very quick look and went "meh, OK, some kind of in-joke or something". Can someone explain what I missed, taking care to distort and exaggerate as much as possible? Ta muchly.

thank christ this is gone. i watched it 20 times yesterday and it woke up with it playing in my head. i spent all of today with it stuck there, i thought i was going crazy.

You missed our hero coming over from Milan on Ryanair, finding out that Glasgow occasionally has a bit of blue sky, visiting two people he barely knew who lived on Clouston St, meeting their blonde pal who sings songs, eating cake, smiling a bit, then in the super feel-good finish, coming to live here. On - yes! - Clouston St. best video yet made.
― stet, Saturday, 27 June 2009 00:08 (fifteen years ago) link
you missed out the bit where he includes lots of shots of the outside of the blonde pal's house.

Thanks Alba, facilitator of social networking!
What's on fire, Glasgow? There's a rather inconvenient house in the way not letting me see where all the smoke is coming from across the river from my house.
― ailsa, Saturday, 27 June 2009 09:35 (fifteen years ago) link
all sorted cheers guys! waiting for plane now xx
― ken "save-a-finn" c (ken c), Saturday, 27 June 2009 10:45 (fifteen years ago) link
What is on fire is the same scrapyard that was on fire before. It's this side of the river, and was causing delays to flights because it was blowing smoke all over the flightpath to Glasgow Airport, but Ken will be delighted to know it's calmed down a bit now.

So, tomorrow I will be at the 13th Note's "Rumble In The Jumble" event in the afternoon from 12pm onwards showing off and selling prints in my Crimson Glow Photography guise.
There's lots of other arty/crafty/bric-a-brac stalls, cocktails, food, board games, DJs and then bands in the evening. Free entry, of course.
If anyone fancies it, then please do come along for a browse, maybe even buy something, and at the very least say hi!

This is gold. I live just off Clouston Street, in Sanda Street. I have fond memories of Clouston St. Ken - our mutual friend Kate used to stay there in a great party flat. The wall between the kitchen and the lounge had been knocked down, so you had this massive open plan room. Perhaps I should write a song about Sanda Street. Unfortunately I don't have any beautiful girls living next door, at least as far as I know.

Try to chain it down to Glasgow Cross :)

A wee plug for myself for anyone in Glasgow over the last two weeks of July...
Crimson Glow Photography presents "It's Not Red", a solo photography exhibtion at the 13th Note, Glasgow, from Monday 20th July to Sunday 2nd August 2009.
An exhibition of live music photography and sonic terrorism in visual form, from the depths of Glasgow's own underground weirdness to the hallowed international heights of touring musical marauders.
http://krakow.zenfolio.com/img/v3/p438758894-11.jpg
Entry, as ever, is free. Please do come along at some point during the exhibition to take a look. Features Throbbing Gristle, Hermann Nitsch, Richard Youngs, Glasgow Implodes and many others...
http://krakow.zenfolio.com/img/v6/p538505263-11.jpg
Prints are now available to buy in Avalanche Records, Glasgow and should also be available in Monorail Music before too long and from the 13th Note during the exhibtion itself, as well as directly from myself, of course.
http://krakow.zenfolio.com/img/v8/p329600658-11.jpg
Vist my website for plenty more photographs from Glasgow's gigs and beyond and feel free to contact me with any photographic requests or enquiries, be it for prints, photo usage, or photography work.

Thanks very much for reading.

Stereo? (Not joek :)
That's superb: I'll try to make sure I get an early finish that day.
And Krakow: I'll definitely try to pop along and have a look at your wares.

was disappointed it wasn't twice the size as mono

The seats are rubbish in Stereo. Should be quite quiet on a Tuesday, right enough. That's the first week of my holiday, so I might not actually be here if we get something booked/organised, which would be a shame, but if I'm around, I will be in a pub with you lot.
― ailsa, Wednesday, 15 July 2009 16:21 (fifteen years ago) link
78 is the best of the lot.

Is that the "old" Stereo on Kelvinhaugh Street? Still not been since it reopened, although I walked past it the other week and it looked ace.
